The Reactivitz makes a return to his label Immersion with a twelve-track album that fully encapsulates his driving style of peak time techno, while also exploring his other influences.

Based in the French city of Lyon, The Reactivitz has been at the forefront of the techno scene in his home country. Playing DJ sets at many of the leading clubs and festivals in France, he has also earned international acclaim for his top-selling productions on labels such as Tronic, Set About, Codex, 1605, Respekt, Octopus and Intec.

Known for his high energy blend of thundering percussion and enthralling melodies he has a dark and charismatic style that has enraptured dance floors across the globe. Supporters of his music range from Carl Cox to Adam Beyer, and this album has allowed him to tell a story that stretches beyond the confines of a few tracks on an EP.

Building with a steady momentum the LP's opening track "The Past Is Gone" is an intro full of tension that creates suspense from slowly introducing a grinding bass and held chords. Track two "Nothing In My Mind" gets the energy flowing with poignant piano chords and a rolling percussive groove, overlaid with a soulful vocal sample that works as a metaphor for The Reactivitz love of techno.

Switching between styles, the album hits its first interlude with the breakbeat percussion and ethereal chords of "Oracle" before "Anywhere On Earth" takes us back to the realms of techno with its frantic melody synth and ominous bassline.

The album they stays on a steady trajectory as it toys with the listeners emotions by switching between dark and light with tracks like "Delirium" bringing moments of sweet euphoria, while others such as "Comet" submerge us into darkness.

Expertly programmed and put together with precision, this album is a masterpiece of modern techno production, and winds down with the ambient atmosphere and heartfelt piano chords of the closing cut "Full of Hope".

Tomas Otero's 'Can't Stop' EP is the third release from the young but well formed Volta label from Victor Ruiz. It features two originals and two remixes from Drunken Kong and Alex Stein.

The EP opens up with 'Can't Stop' which brings up dark serrated synths looping over the face of the tune as powerful techno beats drive below. Celestial keys bring some eeriness to this tense and tough cut.

Drunken Kong’s Remix of the main track then has a shuffling, all consuming techno groove with vast swathes of bass and pulsing synths. It shows why the Japanese dynamic duo have been on all top Techno DJ’s playlists.

'High Voltage' brings a more serene and spaced out feel thanks to the sustained chords that hang in the air above the rock solid kicks and an LFO led hook that makes this a B-side as solid as the A-track.

Closing the EP with majesty, Alex Stein brings a remix with some techno funk, lush loopy melodic patterns, high end sound design and more rolling drums. It’s peak-time anthem that rocks all dancefloors.

This is top level stylish techno.

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell, and the new release features the return of Italian artist Vikthor. 

Vikthor featured an EP on Intec in 2018 that picked up big name support by people ranging from Adam Beyer to Pan-Pot, and this is his much anticipated follow up release. Along with catching the attention of Carl Cox, others that have also released his music include The YellowHeads' Reload Black Label, Steve Mulder's Orange, and the highly respected Bush Records run by Eric Powell. Also an accomplished DJ in his home city of Naples, his debut on Intec is a fine example of the aggressive techno style that he has become known for. Quickly snowballing in popularity, he is well on his way to joining the others from his home city such as Joseph Capriati and Marco Carola who have played a large role in putting Italian techno on the worlds map of electronic music. 

Rebel opens the two track EP with fast flowing hi-hats and a pounding kick drum that contrasts with the comparatively slow notation of the melody stabs. This contrast in rhythms adds to the drama of the track, which driving force is a hypnotic vocal loop full of raw emotion. 

Taking things a little deeper is My Mood which has a ravey synth line full of old school sentiment, which is only amplified by the female vocal stab reminiscent of the techno often played at 90s warehouse raves. Building in tension and full of fire, this would certainly turn up the heat on the dance floor.
